Labs are /dangerous/ now

Shoggoths are bitches, but I just go all Laxus on their asses and blast them with my lightning powers. But seriously Shoggoths are bastards. I hate them so much. I think the mininuke was created just so you could joyfully explodinate the ugly bastardos.

Arek_PL · 2014-08-28T20:44:44.000Z

burst firing a big amout of ammo from smg is enought to kill it just do not forget to atach brass catcher because cassings will heal him (to decrease recoil use hydraulic muscules)

Catfoodbob · 2014-08-28T21:11:46.000Z

could just use a time freeze cbm and sash it to itsy bitsy bits, disregarding the damage.

Most CBMs are Whales-era, including time-dilation. The shoggoth made it in much later.

And way to slur there, Jakers.

I ran into a horde of scientists, bio-operators, skitterbots, and manhacks. I’m talking hundreds strong. I held off a while in a doorway, but a bio-operator shocked me and knocked me back. The horde swarmed me and killed me in seconds. Keep in mind this was with a guy with 10+ melee, survivor armor, and a lit Rising Sun.

Dunno about that armor, but I’ll try my best to do said things. Though hidden blades seem hard… Maybe use some code from the CBM force-replace hands?

you could make it a wearable weapon on one arm. When activated it could create a “blade” that uses the unarmed skill and cannot be removed naturally (there is already support for this, just look up monomolecular blade).

well i just entered a lab and i have no problem to clear rooms with reflex recurve bow with wooden arrows and katana these new monsters are threat only for new or un prepared players

I assume your character has 12 strength (needed to use reflex recurve bow with no penalties), so maybe for him it’s not too hard. But my characters are typically 8-8-8-8. Playing with high stats is not !!FUN!! enough.

Will do all of these, because dead space and Akame ga Kill. And also because I like the idea of folding swords.

I think he meant this kind of (industrial) plasma cutter. Disable the safeties and hook it up to a milspec power source and you could do some serious damage to something. Plus fry the retinas of anyone trying to attack you without welding goggles.

but other bows will be good too for labs because you need it mostly for sniping manhacks or bio operators and sometimes skitterbots everything elsle can be killed in mele

I wonder if Judo will help against those bio-operators’ slamming throws.

prytoclasm · 2014-08-29T10:16:36.000Z

So … the Machine Guns and placeable turrets finally have a purpose? Time to find an M249 and lots of ammunition + some turrets.

Cakewalk!

Jakers · 2014-08-29T12:13:42.000Z

Knowing where lava pits are are very useful for getting rid of those pesky tougher zombies. Melt, my pretties… MELT!!! BWAHAHAHA!

What about those precious cbms D:

If you’d ever read descriptions, they do.

Murphy:

It does, but the closest it gets to saying as much before you test the theory is that Judo makes you immune to being thrown or knocked down.

(But only if we coded it to do so, and I’m sure there are places we missed. The Bio-operator and the Jabberwock definitely respect judo-users (judoka?) though.)

I learned not to put 100% trust in descriptions because, like KA101 says, in blanket cases like this (all throws) there are likely to be occasions missed by the devs. Glad to hear the bio-operator isn’t one of these occasions.

So this seems to have been mostly reversed. Labs are safe again now.
I rather liked having a dangerous area to explore.

problem is, the rewards were broken.
i’d like some of them to be as dangerous as when this was posted, but not all of them, and certainly not with so many bionics drops…

Mmmm, they are back to pretty easy again, upping the skitters and manhacks while keeping the biooperators and scientists down could be a more happy medium.
